10 Dream Features We Wish for the Amazon Tablet

Wishful thinkers dream of so many features than an Amazon tablet should have to make it a worthy contender against the Apple's iPad and Samsung's Galaxy Tab, which are few of the most-loved tablet Pcs of the decade. Here are 10 dream features we hope that the new machine will possess:

1. The tablet should be light. It would be impossible to manufacture a tablet that is featherweight, at least in this century. A very light Amazon tablet would be very easy to carry.

Archos Tablet

2. Applications should load fast. Some tablets may not be able to load heavy applications. Hopefully, the new Amazon stock will be fast and will be able to withstand a lot of running applications.

3. It would be very great if Android runs the Amazon tablet. Android has proven itself as one of the best operating systems around, probably even surpassing the most high-priced system there is. Having the Amazon tablet run by Android's honeycomb operating system would be a great feature.

4. Affordability is always a serious consideration, especially among the budget-conscious. An affordable Amazon tablet would genuinely attract a lot of people's attention. Affordability complemented with a high execution system will make this tablet a sure winner.

5. An Amazon tablet with a glare-proof screen will be another power feature. Some tablets, when subjected to light, reflect so much light to the point that the reader finds it difficult to see and read whatever is on the screen. A glare-proof screen would right on enhance and optimize the user's reading experience.

6. On top of a glare-proof screen, a wide and flat display is another dream feature. Ideally, the screen should be at least seven inches. It would be difficult to browse the web and play games if the screen is smaller than 7 inches.

7. A vast Amazon application store contribution free applications will be a good freebie for users. Hopefully, this will be genuinely accessible. Still, it would be way best if easy way to the Android store is also provided, since the Android store also offers a wide array of applications.

8. Portability is genuinely a big factor. There should be no unnecessary attachments, such as a keyboard, mouse or a heavy battery. Tablet Pcs are all about sleek simplicity on the outside, with so much to offer in the inside.

9. Simplicity should be controlled for the sake of security. Greatest customization of features will only attract unwanted malware, development all information you share vulnerable to security threats. Android's basic software programs that feature email, web browsing and calendar functions are good enough.

10. Knowing that the Kindle is an Amazon original, it would be great to join some of the key features of the Kindle to the all-new Amazon tablet. This extraordinary feature will be the one of the core reasons why habitancy would prefer Amazon than any other brands.

If all these will be incorporated in the new Amazon tablet, it will most likely be a huge hit! With all these extraordinary features in one transported power gadget, the Amazon might just give both Apple and Samsung
